THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF TURKEY (TÜBİTAK) HAS BEEN FOUNDED IN ANKARA IN 1963 WITH THE AIM OF DEVELOPING, PROMOTING, PLANNING AND COORDINATING THE R&D ACTIVITIES IN THE FIELD OF POSITIVE SCIENCES, IN RESPECT OF THE PRIORITIES FOR TURKEY’S DEVELOPMENT.

TÜBITAK OPERATES UNDER A SPECIAL FOUNDING ACT, PROVIDING IT FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY AND PARTIAL ADMINISTRATIVE AUTONOMY, AND DIRECTLY REPORTS TO THE PRIME MINISTRY.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES OF TÜBİTAK ARE CONDUCTED THROUGH ITS RESEARCH INSTITUTES.

MARMARA RESEARCH CENTRE IN GEBZE IS THE OLDEST AND LARGEST RESEARCH ORGANISATION UNDER TÜBİTAK.

TÜBİTAK


NATIONAL METROLOGY INSTITUTE, THE NATIONAL ELECTRONICS AND CRYPTOLOGY INSTITUTE, RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR GENETIC ENGINEERING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY AND TÜBİTAK-MRC TECHNOLOGY FREE ZONE (TEKSEB) & TECHNOPARK ARE ALSO LOCATED ON THE MARMARA RESEARCH CENTER CAMPUS.

MARMARA RESEARCH CENTER FOUNDED IN 1972 OVER NEARLY 8 SQ KMs(2,000 ACRES) BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF LAND ON THE NORTH SHORE OF İZMİT BAY, SETS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CAMPUS TYPE RESEARCH ESTABLISHMENT.

MRC’S LOCATION IN THE INDUSTRIAL HEART OF THE COUNTRY IS VERY APPROPRIATE CONSIDERING ITS MISSION OF CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMPETETIVENESS OFTURKISH INDUSTRY THROUGH RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT.
